“…The symbolic music files came from two public collections of polyphonic Renaissance music: The Josquin Research Project (JRP), an open-access database of Renaissance scores in multiple symbolic formats curated by the strength of composer attribution (Rodin & Sapp, 2019), and RenComp7, a repository of MIDI scores with additional polyphonic vocal works of the Renaissance (McKay et al, 2017). From the RenComp7 dataset, we took 18 mass ordinary cycles by Tomás Luis de Victoria and the 101 by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.…”

How did Renaissance listeners experience the polyphonic mass ordinary cycle in the soundscape of the church? We hypothesize that the textural differences in complexity between mass movements allowed listeners to track the progress of the service, regardless of intelligibility of the text or sophisticated musical knowledge. Building on the principles of auditory scene analysis, this article introduces the Auditory Streaming Complexity Estimate, a measure to evaluate the blending or separation of each part in polyphony, resulting in a moment-by-moment tally of how many independent streams or sound objects might be heard. When applied to symbolic scores for a corpus of 216 polyphonic mass ordinary cycles composed between c. 1450 and 1600, we show that the Streaming Complexity Estimate captures information distinct from the number of parts in the score or the distribution of voices active through the piece. While composers did not all follow the same relative complexity strategy for mass ordinary movements, there is a robust hierarchy emergent from the corpus as a whole: a shallow V shape with the Credo as the least complex and the Agnus Dei as the most. The streaming complexity of masses also significantly increased over the years represented in this corpus.

The Future Directions of Music Cognition conference developed parallel to many of the societal changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The result was an innovative approach to online, remote conferencing. This proceedings journal reflects the research presented at the conference and speaker series, but the virtual nature of the conference also provides opportunities for this journal to be multimedia in new and exciting ways. Most of the articles in this journal are accompanied by an online multimedia presence, with articles linked to videos of the authors presenting, slides, and access to original data and stimuli. This article reviews the story of how the conference and speaker series developed during the pandemic, some of the achievements of the conference, and how the journal is structured.
